Vn. Lukyanov et al., DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH-SENSITIVE VACUUM PHOTODETECTORS IN THENATIONAL RESEARCH-INSTITUTE ELECTRON, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 387(1-2), 1997, pp. 38-42
The last years' developments of Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs) in the ''
Electron'' National Research Institute are presented. There were a num
ber of PMTs with superior characteristics developed during the last de
cade. Among these are such devices as PMTs with low radiation backgrou
nd, microchannel plate PMTs (MCP-PMT), PMTs with GaAs photocathodes. T
he latest developments of the new kind and innovative range of photode
tectors, and such novel devices as Fine-Mesh PMTs for high magnetic fi
eld environment and proximity focused Hybrid PMTs (HPMT) with an elect
ron bombarded p-i-n diode are also discussed.
